Jumper settings on new external ATA HD
Hi, I just got a 250gb Seagate HD Internal to replace my 80gb housed in an external case. I was looking online and saw different opinions on setting the new drive as slave, or not even worrying about jumper settings. Do I need to take the little nub thing off so I have nothing on my jumpers?
thanks.
Either set it as a "master", or remove the jumper. Either way should work just fine.

Jumper settings for new hard drive
i'm installing a WD Caviar 120GB ATA-100 drive on my parents' 450mHz G4. The WD intallation drive indicates a need to place a jumper over pins 3 & 4 of the new drive, but need a jumper be used on the Mac's old drive? It's only 6GB in size and is what i'd like to use as the master drive. i believe the jumper on the old drive is over pins 5 & 6. Thanks!
iBook, Power Mac Mac OS X (10.4.8)The new drive has the proper jumper setting, is in the middle (and correct) ATA cable position, and is recognized and has been formatted by the computer. Unfortunately, when i boot the G4 the blinking globe appears for about ten seconds, and then the "no OS" folder appears for another ten seconds before OS X successfully loads and the computer operates normally, with both drives functioning fine. Almost a success story, but it makes me nervous. Thanks for all the help so far!

Jumper Settings for new Hard Disks in RAID
How do i have to jumper new disks which should be added to my RAID. In factory settings they come with the cable select setting. Do i have to set all the jumpers to master or does cable select work too?
I know that setting the drive to slave didn't work when I tried it just for curiosity's sake.
It may vary by drive vendor whether you use 'cable select' or 'master.' My xserve raid's a little busy right now so don't want to pull my drives out to look but I'm think that half my drives are set to 'cable select' (maxtor 250GB drives in my left bank) and the other half (hotachi 500GB drives in the right bank) are set to 'master.'
You'll know pretty quickly if it works or not: when you put the drive carrier into the chassis, the drive carrier's status LED (not the blue activity light but the tri-color LED adjacent to it) red light will either turn to green or not. If it turns green, the system has recognized the drive as a valid candidate, if the LED remains red it has determined the drive is not.
You can also click on the individual drive in RAID Admin to determine individual drive status.
FYI, I use RAID Admin 1.5 w/1.5 firmware, have SFP controllers, dual 512k cache, dual cache batteries -
How to change jumper settings on Toshiba hard drive?
Hello,
I have a 1.33 ghz 12 inch Powerbook model. Recently, I had been experiencing occassional failure on the internal 60GB hard drive, and I decided to have the drive replaced altogether before the whole thing died. I've got a new drive in the computer now - and wanted to get back onto the old one to access some information. I picked up an external 2.5" enclosure to access the drive as an external drive - the only thing is that I believe I have to change the drive's jumper settings to "slave," and I can't figure out how to do it for the life of me. Anyone know how to change this setting on these internal drives, or what I need to do in order to access my information using an external drive enclosure? Thanks so much...What kind of enclosure is it? For more than one HD so it would be the second one? Otherwise you can just put the drive in the enclosure and use it over FW or USB. Single HD external disks work afaik best with the HD set to master or cable select -> most times no settings change needed.

Jumper Settings for Second SATA-II drive Installed Into Dual 2.0Ghz G5
I have installed a second SATA-II 500GB Maxtor drive into a brand new (purchased as re-furbished computer from Apple) dual 2.0Ghz PowerMac G5. The drive has four connector pins with a jumper slide over the last pin on the right. Before I power up the computer I want to verify the correct jumper settings. According to the Maxtor website, no jumpers are required since the "serial ATA host automatically determines the master and slave hard drive." And according to a MacSales tech (this is the vendor where I purchased the Maxtor drive) I should pull off the existing jumper. Can anyone verify if this is, in fact, the correct jumper setting (no jumpers on the connector pins) for this drive on this system?
G5 dual 2.0 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)Hello! From the Maxtor web site.
"PLEASE NOTE: Unlike standard ATA drives, Serial ATA drives DO NOT require the use of jumpers to configure the drive. Please disregard any references to jumper settings and Master, Slave and Cable Select configurations in the Maxtor Installation Guide."
I'd leave the jumper as is came when you got it. tom -
Upgrade to Yosemite, iPhoto won't open and NTFS-3G could not mount error with new external HD
Help!
I just did a software update to get OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro.
Now iPhoto won't open and I get this error:
"Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable....Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup."
So I do this and try to repair the database as suggested and I get another error:
"iPhoto will open as soon as the iPhoto library is available. Time Machine might be backing it up."
But it's not - no external hard drive is connected.
I'm terrified I can't get access to my photos (and I admit I haven't backed up with Time Machine for over a year - my mistake that I won't make again).
So I bought a brand new external hard drive (seagate for mac and pc, 2TB) so I could save only my photos to the hard drive (because I googled and read you can manually save your photos to disk by dragging and dropping the photo library onto the external hard drive).
But I can't even get the hard drive to work....I get this error
"NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk2s1
at /Volumes/Seagate Backup Plus Drive because the following problem occurred:
/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) link error; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).
the MacFUSE file system is not available (71)"
I google the issue again and it says to uninstall NTFS-3G but I actually think I just deleted it a long ago without uninstalling it properly?? I don't know....
(a) how do i fix iphoto
(b) how do i get external hard drives to work with this OS (I've read lots of posts and don't really understand the advice)
(c) how do i get all my photos onto the hard drive safely so I can import them onto a PC
Any assistance would be magic for this little lady!(c) how do i get all my photos onto the hard drive safely so I can import them onto a PC
First see if you can reformat the EHD to MS-DOS FAT with Disk Utility. If you can
open iPhoto and select all of the Events in the Events mode. Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and export to the EHD with these settings:
Select the destination for the export to be the EHD or a folder on the EHD. This process will create a folder for each Event in your library with the same name as the Event and contain the original image files. The EHD will be useable by a PC and the photos will be available also. -
How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.
When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial.Hi I'd like to jump in here. Your app showed me this:
Time Machine:

Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?

Must have done something wrong..
1. formatted external disk to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - required a partition, but that went fine. Entire new external disk was included in the partition formatted to Mac OS Extneded (journaled).
2. moved iPhoto library to new external disk
3. Holding Option key down, opened iPhoto
4. Choose library feature appeared, however when new library function option appeared and "choose library" selected, the iPhoto folder appearing in the new external drive was greyed out and not able to be selected. Therefore the default library remains the original iphoto library on the Mac.
I've moved the original iphoto library to the trash and then tried to start iPhoto. A message comes up that the iPhoto is in the trash and needs to be pulled out before iPhoto can start (clearly the new iphoto library on the external drive is not being seen.
Can anyone suggest where I went awry? Thanks!Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
Then try select it again. -
Jumper Settings for K7N2 Delta LISR and Athlon 3200 FSB400
Hello Everyone,
(I think I sent this to Raven By E-Mail but I'm not sure, I'm still new to this)
Having problems understanding jumper settings.
I cheched out the forum and the motherboard users guide to see which way the jumpers are set for my Board K7N2 LISR + Athlon 3200+ 400FSB.
In the user guide it say's:-
FSB Mode Jumper: J10
This jumper allows you to set the CPU FSB mode, (It then shows two diagrams of Jumper 10) - first with pins 1 and 2 jumpered "user mode default 133Mhz" and the secound shows pins 2 and 3 jumpered "safe mode 100Mhz".
What has settings 133Mhz or 100Mhz got to do with a 400 FSB??????
CPU FSB Frequency Jumper: J11
This jumper is used to specify the CPU FSB frequency. (again it shows two Diagrams) first: Leave the jumper short connected if a 133/166Mhz FSB is installed.
Secound:If the CPU supports 100Mhz FSB, leave the jumper open connected.
To use a 200Mhz FSB CPU, set the jumper short connected and enter BIOS setup Utility to adjust the CPU FSB Clock Frequency.
Again what has 133/166Mhz or 100Mhz got to do with a 400 FSB???????
For my K7N2 Delta LISR and Athlon Barton 3200+ 400 FSB, what Would I set J10 to:- (Jumpered Pins 1 and 2,= 133Mhz) or (Jumpered 2 and 3,= 100Mhz).
Also what would I set J11 to:- (Jumper pins Open = 100Mhz) or (Jumper short 133/166Mhz). Hope someone can help!!!!!!!!!
It would be nice if the User's Guide had a (If .... Then..... in it)
If CPU = Athlon 2800+ 333 FSB, Then J10 is jumpered pins 1 and 2,
If CPU = Athlon.... etc etc.... or even a couple of examples
Sorry this is so long, but I just need to tell someone, Thanks.1 insafe mode it will boot at 100 fsb regardless of what you set in the bios
in user it will boot by what it sees the cpu as or what you set it to in the bios
just leave it in user
if you o/c and it will not boot shut down put it in safe
then lower the o/c once it boots
again shut down and put it back in user
2 just leave it shorted
only alter it if you used a 100 fsb cpu -
I have moved all my itunes onto a new external hard drive to free up space. It has wiped my ipod clean! I can still see the itunes on the new hard drive so I restored my iPod and tried to sync. Although when I connect my iPod it's in the process of syncing, so many songs in I get a pop up saying could not copy to my iPod as xyz song title could not be read or written. I click ok for this pop up to dissapear and then another pop up appears saying could not coyp to iPod because of unknown error.!!! Help I'm going crazy.
Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location. Select the location of your on external hard drive.

I have been storing my Aperture and IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive that recently died. Fortunately I've been using Time Machine to back up to a 2nd external drive. How do I restore my libraries to a new external hard drive?
This is a tricky one.
Open up Time Machine and go back to a date using the timeline on the right side of the window when you know the drive was working and was backing up as part of Time Machine backups.
Click on the name of your Mac under the Devices heading on the left side of the window in Time Machine, and if things are working correctly you will see Macintosh HD (or whatever you have named it) and the name of the external hard drive that was backing up in the past.
Right-Click on the name of the external hard drive and then click on "Restore (name of drive) to....." You may be asked for your adminstrator password at this point.
It might be easier to restore the drive contents to your desktop if you have room on your Mac, and then copy things over to the new external drive where you want to store the Aperture and iMovie Libraries.
Once the libraries have been moved over the new external hard drive, you will likely need to "point" Aperture and iMovie to the location of the libraries on the new external hard drive. -
When trying to update Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps? Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
I just bought a new external monitor (ASUS), and it have DVI and VGA plugs. I bought the DVI adapter to connect with my macbook pro laptop. But the external monitor remain black… so I turn it off then turn it back on, it said "No VGA signal". Does it means I have to use VGA adapter instead? I am not sure how it work, I am very new to it… I hope you can help me out!
Thanks!Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.

I bought a new external hard drive for backups, but time machine won't do a full back up.
I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore. How do I do a new full backup?
When I bought the new (used) iMac, I also bought an external hard drive for backups. It worked fine, but my husband stole it.
Then I bought a new external hard drive (Seagate) and it worked fine for three weeks, then died.
So I just got a new external hard drive, which was put together from an internal hard drive and a hard drive enclosure.
Time machine did the first backup today, and it should have taken 9 hours like it did on the previous first time full back up. Instead, it took 30 minutes. That can't be right. I want to start over and do a full backup to make sure everything gets onto my new external hard drive, but I can't figure out how to do that. Please help.Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
tmutil compare -E
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot. -
